Modified my Morning Reminder
I had another day where I was procrastinating on a couple of items. Same thoughts of the task turning into a quagmire or something like that. This being the second day of such thoughts prompted me to take action. What I decided to do was modify my morning reminder. When I modify an example, the first thing I do is remover the "Example:" at the start of the entry. This makes it clear to me that I modified the entry. What I did next was add a line at the end of the morning reminder that reads: "Keep in mind that tasks are rarely as bad as you forecast." That's simple. However, that made the reminder unduly long. This reminder was somewhat long to begin with. I didn't like that, so I looked for something to remove. I ended up removing the "Think about your automatic thoughts..." sentence. I think the reminder is still useful and now includes something related to a thought pattern that has been getting in my way recently. I'll see how this works. If I need to modify it, that's fine. Modifying entries to accommodate new and emerging insights is what the app is designed to do.
